The United States Senate, &C
cording to Washington correspon-
dence under the date of the 1st
inst, has agfeed to an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to aid in the CEN
tennial of the settlement of Ohio
at Marietta in April, 1887, and the
commemoration, also, of the form
alton of the northwestern territory.
An amount of $4,000 was fixed by
the Historical Society of Ohio as
necessary to properly commence
rate the event. Of this amount
the Ohio Legislature has appropri-
ated $4,000. A like amount is to
be raised by popular subscription
in Ohio, and the United States is
to give $4,000, as provided for by
the Senate.

Massachusetts proposes to have

NNEE.F@aEE
Massachusetts, proposes to have
a new Sunday law to take the place
of the old blue laws, which are
now enforced only for the purpose
of annoyance. The matter of reg
ulating ones walk and conduct on
Sunday will be left largely to the
discretion Of local town and city
authorities. But it is provided
that men may ride on horseback
of a Sunday, fish in such waters as
they own, and work in their own
shops if they keep some other day
as the Sabbath. It is also provid-
ed that there shall be no gambling,
or playing of games of chance in
hotels or clubs on Sunday, MOI
shall the community be annoyed
by the ringing of bells on that day:
and all professions except funer'
ais are prohibited. 1t is time this
vexed question was settled to meet
the new condition of things
There has been too much Salvation
Army noise in the streets, and in
some cities and tows thereis much
more bell-ringing of an early Sun
day morning than is needed. L
Sunday is to be regulated any
where, it may as we'll be in Massa
%chusetts. Our population and in
situations r changing rapidly
and our laws must change witt
them.

The DEMOCRAT threatens moth
ing of the kind. It is perfectly
satisfied for the law to have it's
course, as it was from the begin
ming, andit don't intend to "cham-
pion" the lynchers nor the beastly
brutal wretch who committed the
crime. No "boquets" of sympathy
for human butchers, if you please.

not visit Washington city, as the
specials of the Enquirer and Cleve-
land Plain Dealer telegraphed, for
the purpose of having the Eaton

East was to e his mother, who
on the 31st of January was eighty

Succeed. Like success.


1t has heretofore been a mystery to US
why strangers are generally charged so
extravagantly by hotels in large cities.
Happening a short time since at the
GAIT HOUSE,, corner of Sixth and
Main Streets, CINCINNATI, OHIO,
managed by w. E. Marsh, Jr., son of
the proprietor of the Gait House fifty
years ago, the mystery was solved. The
accommodations at the GAIT HOUSE
are equal in every respect to the best
TWO DOLLAR per day totel, and yet
the charges are only ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS per day for meals
and room; single meals THIRTY-FIVE
CENTS. The GAIT is the headquarters
for the most complete meals, which to-
gether with free use of parlor, office,
check-room, &C., constitute the greatest
bargain obtainable in the city. The So
luton is easy when the facts are known.
The Gait is run exclusively in the inter-
est of strangers, the same rate being
charged per day, at all times, to every
one Whatever will produce a reasona-
BILE rent for the property is the extent of
its charges, thus doing away with the
usual lessee's profits. Its management
is constantly under the immediate and
personal control of the owner, w. E.
MARSH, JR. Its employees being paid
according to the volume of business, are
efficient and reasonable in cost. The
above ~peculiarities, allow, uniform price,
a reasonable rent-charge only, a rigor-
and practical supervision Of its inter
nal affairs. and cooperative salary pay
ments, have secured for the GAIT a fair
transient trade, and the experiment is a
success, producing rent for the real es-
tate. To this benefactor who has made
it possible to remain two days in the CT
ty at the usual expense of one, we heart
lily recommend our friends. Jan. 2O-6w

Don't forget that the Democratic
party is not in favor of free trade
nor is it in favorof taxing the nee
essaries of life used by laboring-
men to heap up millions in the
Treasury at Washington to lay
there idle! The Democrats are in
favor of protecting American labor
ing-men, not money and monopolies
for the oppression of labor. Let
only taxes be collected sufficient to
pay the economical expenses of
government-let the residue of the
circulating medium remain in the
hands of the people for the benefit
of the people.

The lower branch of the Ohio

Republican newspapers are init
mating that the United States SEN

same party refused to recognize
the election of Samuel J. Tilden as
President in 1876, and Blaine and
his organs indicated a wish to
count out Cleveland.

There is much agitation in po-
litical circles throughout the coun-
try in favor of the election of the
United States Senators by a direct
vote of the people in the several
States. The election of Senators
by Legislatures in recent years, in
variably results in the choice of
millionaires, and the people are
not convinced that men of immense
wealth have the interests of the
common people in view, believing
that they do not understand the
wants of the working and Deepen
dent classes.

The Ohio Patriot very truly says
that the masses of the people are
beginning to study and understand
the tariff question. It is not hard
to see that if the tariff was taken
from sugars, we could buy eight
cent sugar for five cents. In other
words, about fifty millions of dol
lars would be saved to the people
of the United States if we had free
sugar.
